Publisher's Synopsis
In interpreting the fundamental concepts of Husserl's transcendental phenomonology from an analytical perspective, Mohanty attempts to argue that our own consciousness and experiences are responsible for the way we confer meanings on the world. He starts by describing how it is possible to look at the continental philosophers analytically, which in the past has seemed contradictory. He then discusses the relationship between the object, the content and the context that both are interpreted in and whether they are viewed from an objective or a subjective point of view. In the last chapter he draws the argument out, in looking at the relationship between foundationalism, relativism and phenomenology. Mohanty has written "Phenomenology and Ontology".
